My 5 year old LOVES this game even though she doesn't know all of the words yet. The little kernels have clear printing that somehow sticks with her. After playing only a few times, she was able to spell words that I haven't ever taught her because she photographically remembered them from the game. It really is a great way to work on sight words.

The game comes with a ton of words so it never gets too boring.

My only complaint is that I wish there was a covering on the top of the box through which players had to reach their hand in to pick a kernel. Kids tend to want to peek at what's inside to avoid grabbing a "pop" card!

I bought this to help my kindergartener learn her sight words. What we do is we started with words she already knew, added a couple that she will be learning soon and one or two harder ones. This way she can focus on a few at a time, as she gets 100% we will add more at random. We also varie the uses of the word pop,and when we are short on time a pop means the game is over.

I made Bingo cards and we use this as a Bingo game. After you pull out your 'popcorn word' you must read it aloud and then use it in a sentence. Obviously I help my son with the words he does not yet know but by the 2nd or 3rd time he knows them. I use the POP words as a FREE space anywhere you like. It is a lot of fun. Only negative is that there is not a 2nd level of these words as my son knows just about all the words now.

This game was an instant hit. All levels of learners in my class found it fun and entertaining. The best part was the enthusiasm and support they had for each other if they didn't know the word. Definitely a must for center/station time. My kids were excited to play it before I even told them what it was!! The popcorn design is really appealing to them, rather than just boring flashcards. Definitely a game that kids keep asking for over and over again (and what teacher wouldn't love for their kids to be so eager to practice sight words?)!

I am a teacher and purchased this game for my classroom. The children absolutely love it! It is a great way to practice sight words and the popcorn design makes learning fun. I couldn't think of a better way to spend [$] for my classroom. My students ask to play it almost everyday.

Very good for 1st graders, great non-threatening sight word practice, bought at the end of the year so most of my kids already knew the words, but still kept their attention, Very Very popular at center time.
